Friends??

Avery drove Maxwell home, worried about her friend. The family dinner had been tense, and Maxwell was quiet. "Max, are you okay?" Avery asked softly. Maxwell leaned against the window, eyes closed, looking exhausted. "Alam kong mahirap ang gabing ito," Avery said gently. "Kung kailangan mo ng kausap o kahit katahimikan lang, nandito ako para sa'yo."

Maxwell opened her eyes, a flicker of vulnerability crossing her face. " Thsnks, Ave," she whispered. Avery squeezed her hand, offering silent support.

As they reached Maxwell's condo, Avery asked, "Do you want me to come up with you? Or do you need anything?" Maxwell smiled faintly. "I think I just need to rest, Ave. Thank you for everything. You're a true friend," she said.

Avery smiled back. "Anytime, Max. Take care of yourself, okay? And remember, I'm just a call away."

Maxwell nodded and walked towards her condo. Avery watched her go, feeling a sense of peace knowing she was there for her friend. As she drove away, she thought about how true friendship often speaks more through actions than words.

Friends??

As Maxwell entered her condo, the familiar surroundings offered a sense of comfort amidst the chaos of the day. She let out a long sigh, grateful for the quiet solitude that enveloped her. Thoughts raced through her mind, memories of the evening's events swirling like a turbulent storm.

Sitting on her couch, Maxwell felt the weight of the day's emotions pressing down on her. The unresolved tensions from the family dinner lingered in the air, leaving her with a sense of unease. She knew she needed time to process everything that had happened, to make sense of the conflicting feelings that tugged at her heart.

Reaching for her phone, Maxwell scrolled through messages, finding a mix of notifications and missed calls. Amidst the digital clutter, one message stood out — a simple "Take care, Max" from Avery. The words resonated with her, a reminder of the unwavering support she had in her friend.

As she settled into the quiet of her condo, Maxwell found solace in the stillness of the night. The soft glow of the lamp illuminated the room, casting a warm and peaceful ambiance. Closing her eyes, she took a deep breath, letting go of the tension that had built up within her.

Avery's Pov

As Avery sat in her own apartment, she felt a pang of concern for Maxwell. Knowing that Maxwell considered her as her only friend weighed heavily on her heart. She picked up her phone, fingers hesitating over the keys as she composed a message to Maxwell.

"Hey Max, just wanted to check in on you. I know today was tough. Remember, I'm here for you, no matter what. Take care of yourself, okay?"

Sending the message, Avery couldn't shake off the worry that clung to her thoughts. The realization that she was Maxwell's sole confidante stirred a mix of emotions within her — a deep sense of responsibility intertwined with a profound bond of friendship.

As she waited for a response, Avery hoped that her words would offer some comfort to Maxwell, knowing that their friendship was a pillar of support in Maxwell's life. The silence of her apartment seemed to echo the unspoken promise she had made to always be there for her friend, even if Maxwell's only friend is me.
